Time Magazine’s Person of the year shortlist has some pretty controversial entries – including Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of Isis.

Oh, and ginger-tufted hate-magnet Donald Trump.

Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi’s entry sums up his achievements, saying, ‘as leader of ISIS has inspired followers to both fight in his self-declared caliphate of Iraq and Syria, and also stage attacks in countries like Tunisia and France.’

Time says the shortlist is for a person, object or idea which, ‘for better or for worse…has done the most to influence the events of the year.’

Previous winners have included Hitler, Stalin and Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini.
